"Leviathan: Unveiling the Mythical Beast of Power and Chaos" In Thomas Hobbes' renowned work, "Leviathan, " he delves into the concept of a powerful sovereign that maintains order in society. The frontis illustration depicts this mythical creature as a symbol of authority and control. Meanwhile, DORE's Leviathan showcases Gustave Doré's artistic interpretation of this fearsome beast from the Book of Revelation. With its awe-inspiring imagery, it captivates our imagination and instills both wonder and dread. Stepping away from literature, we encounter the HMS Leviathan, a Drake-class armoured cruiser that once ruled the seas with its might. This vessel embodied strength and dominance on naval battlefields. On land, we witness another behemoth—the Great Eastern steamship—designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. However, logistical issues hindered its launch in 1857. This colossal structure aimed to conquer oceans but faced setbacks along its ambitious journey. Nature also presents us with leviathans; one such example is the giant sawfish caught off Florida Keys. Weighing an astonishing 850 pounds, it epitomizes nature's grandeur and reminds us of creatures lurking beneath ocean depths. Lastly, let us not forget about Britain's Brabazon I passenger aircraft or even biblical references to sea monsters resembling serpents—a true embodiment of leviathans throughout history. From philosophical musings to maritime marvels and natural wonders alike, leviathans have left their mark on human consciousness as symbols of power or mysterious beings dwelling within uncharted realms.
